stress when I was 21. I am now 58, and it's worse than it's ever been. I'm also under a lot of stress. I just heard about a diet called the SCD diet that I'm going to try. It's supposed to cure you if you do it right. After suffering all these years, that would be a dream...

Ok, first off I want to say hello to everyone. Anyways I have IBS and another number of stomach problems. It got real bad when we moved and I had to start at a new school where I didn't know anybody. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't seem to fit in anywhere and that...

that I've learned from people who do:
No coffee
No cold drinks
Gluten free
Lots of whole foods
No dairy
You should just become a vegan
Fruits and veggies help the digestive system
Yogurt
Consider hypnosis (it helps some people)
Go on medications
No fast food
hope I helped :3...

I had been diagnosed with IBS a little while ago, maybe about a year ago, as I was struggling with tummy problems and illnesses, and I went through my GP to be referred to the hospital, who confirmed it as being Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Recently, for about two weeks, I...

I've always had a very sensitive digestive system, but it became really bad in 2010-2011. It was triggered because I had severe depression and wasn't eating particularly healthily, and I was prescribed antidepressants, which made it almost impossible for me to eat or digest...

It all started at the age of 16. All of the sudden out of nowhere I felt like I would not make it to the bathroom. Some days diarrhea and others slight constipation. Stress and Anxiety make this issue 10X worse. I have not noticed a difference of my symptoms with different...

I was diagnosed with IBS 10 years ago after a period of pains, bloating, bleeding, runs, constipation, nausea and blackouts. I was prodded and poked by a number of Drs in all the places the sun don't shine before they came to the conclusion it was IBS which is essentially a...

I was officially diagnosed at the age of 16. My life made so much sense. I react to dairy, corn, beans, peas, rye, and random foods. Sometimes grease affects me, other times it doesn't. It sucks. I'm always in pain. I ended up spending 10 hours in the ER one time because of it...

I have had problems with IBS since i was probably in seventh grade. I just got diagnosed two years ago. I had anti-spasm medication that would sometimes constipate me and sometimes would give me diarhea. I never have a normal BM anymore. Anytime i have to go "#2," i get realy...

I am a 17 year old girl with ibs. I was just diagnosed last week. I have had these problems for about a year and its so embarrassing. Most days i didnt want to go to school because of the gas pains and the uncontrollable gas. I couldnt walk down a hallway without those...

I have to carpool to work - and we pass various farms and the animal smells usually trigger anxiety and sweating symptoms. I try to assure myself that it isn't me that smells like that but I don't understand why I can't just be at peace. I've slowly been becoming a hermit...

I would miss a lot of days of school. I would sit on the toilet for a hour before school because I thought it would make a difference as to if I'd get sick at school or not. eventrually I went through middle school and missed more days. along the way I found out I had OCD which...

I am lactose intolerant and dairy can be hard to avoid. When ever I eat dairy it goes straight through me and I get the Hershey squirts lol. But if it's not a lactose episode I get chronic constipation and sometimes it gets that bad I end up eating dairy just to clean me out...

since I was 15. My doctor recommended a natural herbal product called Ibergaust and it's been a life saver. I just wanted to put it out there because I wish I had heard of it 10 years ago. Combined with Inner health, Metamucil and walks, I almost feel like a regular human.

as long as I can remember. Have memories of having a stomach ache after every lunch in the first and second grade. Growing up it was mostly IBS attacks triggered from bad food like take-out. Was diagnosed with IBS at age 15. Age 17 a combination of Anxiety, IBS and who know what...

I have had stomach issues from a very young age and have had tests done to rule out other digestive disorders in the past. There had been a clinical finding for celiac at one point, but negative blood work to go with it.
As of lately things have gotten a bit darker. My...

I've always had intermittent stomach problems, but about a year ago they got really bad. My stomach hurt all the time, I was always nauseated, and had either diarrhea or was constipated. I know from being a medical assistant that these are classic signs of IBS, or irritable bowel...

I was diagnosed with IBS-D about 2 years ago. For almost a year I've been using Lomotil, which helps decrease the frequency of my bathroom trips but doesn't help the diarrhea aspect of it. I saw a GI specialist about twice - once for a consultation, once for a colonoscopy to...

since I was little but it's really annoying me now and I'm not sure if I should go to the doctor and get formally diagnosed. I always get diarrhea when important dates are coming up and sometimes I'll randomly get the WORST diarrhea cramps ever and it makes me cry it hurts so...

It basically feels like I have the flu all the time, the combination of nausea/ vomiting, and diarrhea. More recently I've been taking medication, and it has been helping. Except tonight... It's hitting me, and it took like 5 minutes after eating something for it to go...

when I was 15 years old.
I remember hardly being able to go to school, but that was pretty much the all. I couldn't meet my friends, because I didn't want them to see me having an attack. I couldn't eat half of the things in school, and most of the things I ate back home seemed...

and collagenous colitis for years. I just started a new diet for IBS-the low FODMAP diet, and I'm really hoping it works. I haven't started to see too much change yet and I'm getting a little discouraged. I could really use any advice, words of encouragement, or experiences...

for the first time - too much stress, a no good diet of mostly Caffeine and waaay to many problems and cigarettes. Two and a half years it has been. Yet I am still plagued with bum sweating issues. Ibs has ruined my youth. I'm scared of car rides, hate being in close proximity...

I had my first daughter in the early summer of 2009, I was 20 years old. Before getting pregnant, I was very healthy, active, and fast paced! Never, drank, smoked, or partied. I then had my second daughter in winter of 2010. About two months after I had my second daughter, I...

! Had a busy weekend with only time to grab junk food with my other half. I know I should have cooked and controlled what I ate and drank, but with both of us being tired we resorted to quick food and drink options. I'm now in bits... Had horrible cramps before bed last night...

and when I am out and about running errands on weekends; there isnt always a bathroom available. I have been trying different types of products such as Depends; or underware type products. Most seem to be designed for those with urinary issues; but not for IBS type issues...

I was diagnosed about 6 months ago now, after spending two months refusing to leave my flat as I was convinced that I'd lose control somewhere public. I couldn't make it to the nearest shop when I needed milk for my daughter, I couldn't take her to the playground across the road...
